This one kind of crept up on me. Knitting with fine yarn on sock needles most of the time gets a little hard on the hands, so I’ve been dabbling in a bit of crochet and weaving on the side. One of my staple filler projects is crochet headscarves, which I use to keep wet hair off my face while it’s drying.

All they need to be is a triangle, so I usually just pick up a crochet stitch book and find a pattern that looks promising. The yarn is 5ply crepe, in odd balls picked up from op shops and the adopted stash. About the only use I’ve found for it is headscarves. I couldn’t imagine knitting a large project in 5ply, and there’s not enough of it to make a full large garment anyway. For most other small project requiring 5ply I have or would rather get nicer, softer yarn. But it works for headscarves very well.
